The Darkness Looks Back

Friday, March 17, 2017

Hello, and welcome to your weekly download of Pathfinder Battles: Crown of Fangs reveals. This week I'm starting with the Deacons of the the Horseman of Pestilence. Everyone in the office is sick, anyway, so what's the worst that could happen? The Leukodaemon is a large, uncommon, and looks fantastic. If you ever tire of giving your players nightmares with devils, we suggest using this guy. You are welcome.

Speaking of devils (its almost like I knew what was coming next), we have the Bone Devil, also a large uncommon in this set. I love the raw sinew on the wings. The spinal ridges on the tail also looks fantastic.

Finally, we have the Horned Devil, another large uncommon. Wizkids did a great job with the armor plated scales on his abdomen, legs, and tail.

Yes! A freaking awesome reveal. I know we've seen the 'Ol Boney before but now we get two more fantastic evils. The leukodaemon is simply amazing, nice sculp, I almost said beautiful sculpt there, good colours and uncommon! Yes.

The horned devil looks pretty good, the chain seems a little odd, does it have one handle/grip or is to folded in half with both ends in one hand? He appears to be a good fit for the pit devil we received last time. Again uncommon!

Oooo...a Cornugon, our DM ran us into one of those recently. It was like fighting a living meatgrinder made flesh. In the end we walked away with a stunned cleric, plenty of bleed damage, and plenty of curses for Asmodeus and his hellspawn.

The bone and horned devils look to be about the same size - perhaps a fraction smaller than the shattered star hill giant? That Leukodaemon however looks like he may be a contender for the biggest large mini yet. After a quick size comparison of the render he could easily rival the troll champion, gug or even the large air elemental in size! Makes me hope we'll get one of each of the 3 remaining deacons - Maladaemon, Purrodaemon and Thanodaemon! Although I suspect the old aspect of Yeenogu csan still proxy for the Maladaemon.

The Leukodaemon is definetly not going to come in one piece - i suspect it's right arm with the black wing-feathers comes separately and needs to be inserted (like with the Pit Devil from Deadly Foes) - an amazing mini and at uncommon rarity there are gonna be 3-4 in a case - great news!

Now the Bone Devil is the second mini (along with last weeks Queen Illeosa) which has already been shown by Erik in the first preview blog from this set, but i'm not gonna complain - it's amazing too, and a case is gonna include 3-4 too!

While the Horned Devil looks nowhere near as cool as the black version from D&D a few years back, it has both the right color and the rarity - and again 3-4 will be in a case!

A great preview of three large uncommons, thank you Michael!

We have now seen 27 of 50 minis that will be in the blind boosters - 23 remain unrevealed and there are only 6 weeks and 5 days till the release date, so it's maybe time to show 4 minis each week? ;-)

Also we have only seen the two sitting Queen Illeosa & the Crimson Throne pieces from the incentive. :-)

No love for Tekrakai the Moon Maiden? She's got a full piece of art. And it'd be great to finally have someone with a starknife.

Come to think of it, I've looked all over my copy of Curse of the Crimson throne and I can't find stats for Tekrakai anywhere. All I can find are stats for regular generic moon maidens. Am I supposed to use those for Tekrakai?
